The 2023 vintage, a testament to patience and meticulous winemaking, showcases the unique terroir of the North Coast appellation. Following a winter and spring of generous rainfall, budbreak was delayed, leading to a prolonged flowering period. Cooler-than-average temperatures throughout the season extended hangtime, allowing the 91% Sauvignon Blanc and 9% Sémillon grapes to ripen beautifully. Harvest, beginning with Sémillon on August 28th and concluding with Cabernet Sauvignon on November 9th, yielded grapes with ideal flavor development and bright acidity, resulting in a truly exceptional vintage. The wine was aged for 5 months sur lie, with 94% in stainless steel and 6% in new French oak, ensuring a crisp and balanced profile.
